Wisconsin Researchers Use Proteomics to
Hunt Biomarkers Tied to Radiation Damage

[July 10, 2008]

Despite the ongoing risk of radioactive dirty bombs set off by terrorists, as well as run-of-the-mill nuclear disasters, there are currently no protein biomarkers that could help detect early signs of injury brought on by radiation exposure. But researchers have been studying changes in rat protein levels after radiation exposure and used proteomic technology to detect those changes in rat urine.
